More repurposed china

Yesterday I
went for a browse in my local charity shops, and the cats of the day were these
plates. All different shapes and colors,
but very decorative in their own way.

If everything goes to plan they will be turned innto something like this.

And if they break during the drilling process they’ll become jewelry. I got several question about what tools I use to cut the ceramics, so I thought I’d let you in on the “secret”. I use my beloved Dremel, with various diamond tip drill bits. It’s a messy and time consuming job best done outside (Important: use safety glasses) but I find the end result well worth it.

Who am I:

I live with my daughter and a peculiar cat in an old house in the middle of a big-small town on the south/west coast of Norway. The house would most defiantly benefit from a total renovation, but it got lots of charm and we love it. My daughter is 12 and she makes her mother proud every day, the cat is about 8 and as big a diva as a cat can be and I’m the one that tries to be on top of everything.
